This is not how I recall it. I think at several times GSP said something along the lines of:
I would like to move up and fight Anderson at MW or a catchweight. If it is to be at MW then I would need time to bulk up properly.
Anderson never would agree to any catchweight. Also, GSP did move up to MW and challenge Bisping. Now whether colitis was merely an excuse or a legitimate problem is anyone's guess.
Care to provide links to where he said that in public? I could be wrong but I don't recall it ever going that way.
He definitely was at Abu Dabi to challenge Silva though.
Also I don't see how catchweight would be an issue for Silva. He fought at 170 for the first half of his career. GSP is was a smallish WW by today's standard's and barely made MW to fight Bisping.
